Your employer or an important person will be impressed with your determination and commitment. Your leadership skills, versatility and accomplishments will bring greater recognition. Advancement can be yours this year if you concentrate on getting ahead. Welcome new opportunities, and you will succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Spending your hard-earned cash on frivolous purchases or helping others will lead to financial trouble. Adhere to a strict budget before it’s too difficult to dig your way out of debt.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Neglecting your love life will be emotionally costly. Plan to share quality time with someone special, or engage in events geared toward finding love. You deserve to be happy for a spell.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Maintain patience and understanding when dealing with others. A troublesome situation will escalate quickly if you aren’t sensitive to the problems and challenges faced by others. Do what’s right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You’ll be offered unwanted advice. Disregard any such counsel and remain on the path that you feel most comfortable with. Discipline and commitment will bring you success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Give your spirits a lift by spending time with children or close friends. Treating yourself to a guilty pleasure will add to your enjoyment. Your good humor will be appreciated.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It may seem as though others are taking advantage of you. Make your feelings known in a firm but tactful way. Your frustration will only increase if you don’t speak up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Regardless of from whence it comes, do not repeat gossip. You will be looked upon as untrustworthy, and it could cause irreparable damage to your reputation. Concentrate on work, not meddling.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) — Focus on romance. Revitalize your relationship with someone special. Unexpected expenses may cramp your style, but you can still show your affection without trying to buy love.
